Abstract
A joint assembly includes a joint including a flow path penetrating therethrough, and a fixing portion to which the joint is attached. The joint includes at least two mounting portions to which a tube is mounted, and an intermediate portion located between the at least two mounting portions. The fixing portion extends in a first intersecting direction intersecting the flow path and abuts on the intermediate portion.
Claims11
A joint assembly comprising:
- a joint that includes a flow path penetrating through the joint;
- and
- a fixing portion to which the joint is attached;
- wherein
- the joint includes:
- at least two mounting portions to which a tube is mounted;
- and
- an intermediate portion that is located between the at least two mounting portions;
- the fixing portion extends in a first intersecting direction intersecting the flow path and abuts on the intermediate portion;
- the fixing portion includes a first metal plate and a second metal plate that extend in the first intersecting direction;
- the first metal plate and the second metal plate each respectively include one of a pair of overlapping portions that overlap one another in a direction extending in parallel with the flow path;
- through holes are defined to extend continuously through the pair of overlapping portions of the first metal plate and the second metal plate;
- the first metal plate includes a first receiving portion contacting and receiving the intermediate portion from one side in a second intersecting direction intersecting the flow path;
- and
- the second metal plate includes a second receiving portion contacting and receiving the intermediate portion from another side in the second intersecting direction.
